More Summer Fun: We're Just Here for the Beer

When it came to beer advertising in the 1950s, it was a veritable Schlitzfest for famous illustrators! More than any other purveyor of suds, Schlitz ads were brimming with art by some of the biggest names in the business. Here are just a few examples...

Jan Balet

Harry Fredman

Haddon Sundblom

(or if not Sunny himself, some of the talented artists of the Sundblom Circle)

Austin Briggs

Tom Hall

Tran Mawicke

Frederic (Fritz) Seibel

... and finally, John Falter(Remember his cartoony Sanka coffee ads from the beginning of this week?)

So, finishing where we started (sort of), let's go grab a cold one! Have a great weekend!
